A former NC State Wolfpack basketball recruiting target appears to be part of an alleged bribe scheme that involved a family of a recruit accepting $100,000 in exchange for the player’s commitment to Louisville Cardinals, according to the Lexington Herald Leader. Brian Bowen, a five-star recruit in the Class of 2017, had visited NC State last fall and was heavily recruited by former Wolfpack coach Mark Gottfried.

What NC State coach Dave Doeren did not talk about on Monday was how he would react to protests by NFL players during the national anthem. The controversy started last year with Colin Kaepernick and was more widespread across the league on Sunday after inflammatory remarks by President Donald Trump. “I’m not in the NFL, so I don’t have to deal with that,” Doeren said.
